Bel its great only the link is broken to give me what each of the _chr for names and placements of each. If you can help a bit more that would be great as I noticed that the landscape of lavastorm is completly white and I know from playing live that it should be rocky and fire/steam brewing out from the ground. Now about the character models themselves I followed the link you gave and tried to update lava since the gobbies were men only with the name of a_fire_goblin_scout and I went into my lavastorm.txt file under eq and noticed that the gob_gob didnt have the ending of the _chr so I changed those to have that extension on them and still it did nothing to the mobs character appearance. If I am missing something here please let me know Sir Guru Bel

Rofl i'm not a guru :p

For lavastorm:
they are 2 version of lavastorm, peq velious database (and other) work with old version. Juste delete lavastorm.emt and lavastorm.eqg and you can have old lavastorm. I don't know how make the new lavastorm for now.
For Mob skin:
Only native zone mob can be spawn. If this mob is on DB you can spawn it with dbspawn 'ID mob' command. If not you must make a new npc (read all the guide i have link all is explain) and race is the skin of mob, if this skin is'nt usable on zone you have a human skin.

Didnt quite follow you hehe so I am wanting to edit the load_system.sql and find the file on lavastorm and any extensions that have the eqg and the emt on it? Or inside of the zonefiles.sql???
